Our politic of health now not in favor of the poor, and also reaching out to people in remote villages.

As stated by Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, Moh. Mahfud MD in commemoration of the birthday of the Islamic Hospital (RSI) Siti Hajar, Saturday (23/02), in the complex RSI Siti Hajar, Sidoarjo, East Java. The event was also attended by the Regent of Sidoarjo Saiful Ilah, Chairman of the Regional Leadership NU (PWNU) East Java Mutawakkil Alallah, Chairman of the Regional Chairman of Muslimat East Java Masruroh Wahid and Sidoarjo Muslimat Chairman Farida Wahib. 

Expressed by Mahfud, in the case of an accident in Yogyakarta, the victim denied the Hospital (RS) and the fact that it first asked by the hospital is what family, identity card and who guarantees. So did a lot of cases that occurred in Jakarta, where many babies are detained by the hospital, because the elderly people could not afford the cost of labor.

"The politics of health we have not been able to reach the people to achieve the objectives of our constitution," said the former defense minister president Abdurrahman Wahid’s era. Therefore, it is very sad if there is a budget for the hospital budget that was corrupted. Theft and is not just only in the field of health, but also occur in other areas, where the budget was aimed at the welfare of the people.

According to Mahfud, to build prosperity in Indonesia, people need to be healthy, "No way we go forward, we may not be able to protect the whole Indonesian nation and state that the person is not healthy," said a former member of the House of Representatives this. Furthermore, Mahfud judges, not possible to educate the people if the teacher, the people, and unhealthy students. Maybe people would not be too smart if not healthy, and if it is not anticipated that it would be a burden for development.

"The hospital is a manifestation of what is commanded by God, so that the Ummah of Islam has a social conscience. Matter to people who are suffering, care for the sick," said Mahfud. At the end of speech, Mahfud reminded the audience; if among Muslims do not care about things like that then it would only be a liar religion. (Ilham/ mh).
